German Star’s Social Media Activity Sparks Arsenal Transfer Rumours

Mario Gotze has caused quite a stir on social media this afternoon with fans suggesting he could be joining Arsenal after he followed Kieran Gibbs on Instagram.

The German attacker has long been linked with a move to the Emirates and the speculation intensified earlier this month with the Mirror reporting that Arsenal were lining-up a move for the player after his agent hit out at Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola.

There have also been rumours of a possible move to Juventus but Gotze sent Arsenal fans on social media sites into meltdown after he randomly started to follow Kieran Gibbs on Instagram today.

Who knows why Gotze decided to follow Gibbsy but as seems to be the way these days, a player’s social media activity is immediately taken as a hint towards a possible transfer.

Obviously this is in no way confirmation the German playmaker is joining Arsenal but it is a strange thing to do – particularly when his future at Bayern is in doubt and he’s being linked with a move to North London.

I’d personally love to see Gotze come to the club but unlike some fans on Twitter, I won’t be getting my hopes up just because he’s started to follow one of our players.

If he follows Arsenal’s official account, then I might start to believe a move is on the cards!
